Welcome!

Welcome to my new email newsletter! I am always looking to connect with my friends and clients in ways that I hope are informative yet respectful of your busy schedules. We all get a lot of email so you won't see a whole lot from me -- just when I have news to share or something I think you may find interesting. You can use the link at the bottom of this email to unsubscribe at any time.

Having said that, I hope you will enjoy my newsletter. I am always happy to hear suggestions / feedback. Feel free to email me at thomas@thomashenthorne.com

As we begin the year I want to take a moment to thank you for all of your support over the years. It was that encouragement and your referrals that made me the #1 Marin County real estate agent at Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty in 2017. I continue to provide "luxury service at all price points" and look forward to serving all of your real estate needs in 2018.

Marin Market Snapshot

The Marin market finished 2017 strong with the median home price up 16.9% versus the same month in 2016. Generally we continued to see upward pricing pressure as the inventory of homes was down significantly from the prior year. All indications now point to a strong 2018 with a continued shortage of homes on the market, which is good for sellers and challenging for buyers. Read the full report here.

Ring Mountain Hike

The Ring Mountain Hike in Corte Madera and Tiburon has been on my list for quite some time now and I finally got around to exploring this very popular Marin County hike. This moderately strenuous hike is well-located in central / southern Marin and provides a panoramic view of the entire SF Bay Area. In the spring, wildflowers abound. Read more about this great hike here.

My experience in the United States Peace Corps when I was in my twenties was a major event in my life that has shaped everything that came after. I decided to join the Peace Corps as a result of a trip I took to Africa in 1988 to visit a friend who was serving in Senegal. After visiting him in his village and meeting his friends there, I continued on to east Africa for a 2-week camping safari in Kenya. I was mesmerized by the continent and knew I wanted to return.
